Chapter 628: Qi Bao'er causes trouble

She wouldn't ask the Ministry of Finance for money over and over again, what a loss of status that would be?!

She wants the Ministry of Household Affairs to take the initiative to take out military pay, and will never withhold military pay or delay military pay for various reasons in the future.

Qi Bao'er didn't do anything too extreme, he was just prepared to cause a little trouble for all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue.

That night, all the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs who had any real power in Beijing all had the same nightmare.

It can be said to be a nightmare, or it can be said to be a reenactment of the scene, because it is a true story, a "story" that is so tragic that no one dares to tell it yet.

In the year 325 of Qilin Calendar, that is, more than forty years ago, the address was Pingyuan Pass.

At that time, the emperor's control over the court was not as good as it is now. To be precise, he probably only controlled a small part of it. The matters in the court were still decided by the veterans left by the late emperor.

The three important departments of officials, households, and soldiers are not in the hands of the emperor, but are shackled in the hands of the veteran officials.

The Huangqian Army fought against Pingyuan Pass every year, and that year was no exception.

And that year was the most critical period for the competition between the emperor in Beijing and those old ministers. You had this military power in your hands, and I had this military power in my hands. There was a microsecond balance between them.

Originally, both sides knew the importance of Pingyuan Pass, so both sides of Pingyuan Pass did not include it in the chessboard.

It was just that that year there happened to be droughts in several places in the north, which resulted in a significant reduction in grain taxes and the mutual support of troops became a problem.

At this time, Lingnan City, which produced the most grain, became a place that both sides were competing for.

Lingnan City must listen to the emperor's decree; Lingnan City dare not disobey the wishes of the veterans.

What happened during this period, and what the whole story is, has been kept secret for decades, and without insiders telling it, the younger generation will naturally know nothing.

In short, the final result at that time was that all the grain was transferred from Lingnan City, which was clearly the number one place for Qilin's domestic grain production, to the point where even the Zhennan Army stationed closest to Pingyuan Pass had not started a battle with the Huangqian Army.

People are about to starve to death.

The Zhennan Army sent dozens of memorials to the court requesting the imperial court to pay the Zhennan Army military pay, but none of those memorials were delivered to the emperor; and those veterans felt that the Zhennan Army was so close to Lingnan, so there was no need.

Will the imperial court travel long distances to deliver food and grass to them?

As a result, the Zhennan Army fought with the Huangqian Army that year, and a group of Zhennan Army were as hungry as soft bones, just like the food delivered to their door.

If the emperor hadn't noticed something was wrong and sent reinforcements to rescue him, the Zhennan Army would have been completely wiped out in that battle.

It's just that the reinforcements arrived a step too late, and less than one tenth of the Zhennan Army remained.

It was so tragic that no one dares to mention it to this day.

The dream that Qi Baoer asked the people in Hubu to have was the battle between the Zhennan Army and the Huangqian Army.

From a distance, talking about the hardships of the soldiers guarding their homes and serving the country, and talking about how much they admire and respect them, in Qi Bao'er's view, these are all empty, and nothing is better than letting you feel the same way.

Aren't you all good at dragging out the soldiers' pay? OK, just go and fight the enemy while you're hungry in your dreams.

Don't you all say that you can use any weapon? Okay, just take a dull knife and chop it in your dream.

If they couldn't relate to the dream, it didn't matter, she could let them keep dreaming.

Let's see who can outlast whom.

Asked whether Hu Bu really had no money, Qi Baoer said that she wouldn't even believe it with her toenails.

As for the fact that people from the Ministry of Finance will suspect that she did it, where is the evidence? The Ministry of Criminal Affairs needs evidence to decide the case.

Besides, even if she admits that she did it, what can they do to her?

There is no provision in the laws of Qilin State that requires a prison sentence if someone has nightmares.

Qi Baoer first had dinner with Old Man Qi and Old Mrs. Tian. After returning to her courtyard, she very dedicatedly copied several official documents that had been rejected by the Ministry of Household Affairs and stamped them with a big seal.

Different from her leisurely life, that night, all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue fell into a nightmare. In the dream, all of them were in the battle between the Zhennan Army and the Huangqian Army more than forty years ago.

It's not an outsider's view. Qi Bao'er is so lacking in virtue. She lets them participate in it.

All of them were so hungry that their stomachs ached with cramps, and even after walking a few more steps they were so tired that they were out of breath. But looking up at them was the tall and muscular Arakawa soldier, and the knife he held in his hand was so dull that it was even thicker than grass.

Gagging constantly.

That fear, that despair, that resentment towards the imperial court for giving up on them...

That night, tragic screams came from dozens of mansions in the inner city of Beijing.

On this day, Qi Baoer ran to court with great joy.

Still standing next to Shang Chengfeng, because the military attachés were on the military attaché side, and many higher-ranking military attachés were reluctant to come to court on weekdays, Qi Baoer also took advantage, as she had a higher position in the court.

.

What a coincidence, it happens to be directly opposite the Minister of Household Affairs.

Ouch, you are so green now, how many days have you not been able to have a good rest?

Shang Chengfeng cast a curious glance at the new "lazy" minister in his yamen. He had been in office for almost ten days. Except for the day of the imperial court, he and she pretended to have headaches when they went to court early.

How could the girl he abused come to court on his own initiative today?

Hmm~~?

Although the girl's expression was still unfazed, why did he have the feeling that this girl was in a particularly good mood today?

Could it be that there is something happy happening at home?

After retiring from the imperial court, the three members of the Ministry of War naturally left together.

Yes, three, today the minister who was seriously injured and bedridden at home for almost two months finally remembered that he was still an official.

But what surprised Qi Bao'er was that this guy looked like a skinny monkey, looked like a serious person, and didn't speak like a serious person.

"Sir, have you noticed that people in the Household Department have some problems recently?" He put his hands on his hands and put his head in his head, showing his filthy temperament.

"Be careful." Shang Chengfeng gave him a warning look.

How could we not discover the departments that were so close together?

Each and every one of them was as if they had been sucked in at night. In short, it can be described in four words - depressed.

However, they just feel good about this kind of thing, and they openly express gloating about it, which is not true.

After being warned, Qian Shilang remained honest for a moment. This time, he did not dare to poke his head at Shang Chengfeng's side to try to slap him. Instead, he leaned closer to Qi Baoer.

"Chief Minister Qi, aren't you curious about what happened to Tobe?"

Qi Baoer glanced at him with a half-smile, "I'm not curious."

Quickly follow Shang Chengfeng.

Mr. Qian was stunned for a moment by her unceremonious attitude. After coming back to his senses, he let out a laugh and chased after her with a lewd look.

"Chief Minister Qi, don't imitate adults. It's too boring. We are still young."

The backs of the three people did not stop for anyone, leaving only the different looks of the officials behind them.
